Who is responsible for the swimming pool filter when renting a home?
Q. We moved into our rental home in December 2008. Our home has an in-ground swimming pool. We had the pool professionally opened on May 7th. The pool company said the filter is broken and needs to be replaced. The cost of replacing the filter and having it installed is $1300. I contacted the home owner and she said they don't have the money to replace the filter at this time. Who is responsible for replacing the swimming pool filter? I also wanted to know if it would be OK to deduct $1300 from next months rent to pay for the filter?

A. Pool maintenance usually falls on the tenant. You are going to need to read your lease to figure out who pays for this. Most likely it is you, but your lease may state otherwise.

How does a swimming pool salt ionizer work?
Q. A friend of mine has a "saltwater" swimming pool, it does not require the addition of any chlorine. Does anyone know how the chemistry of the ionizer works, ie how does it convert simple NaCl to hypochlorite? Is the chlorine level in this type of pool lower than a chlorinated pool? Is the level of Chlorine gas lower?
Asked by atomicdoug171 - Fri Aug 15 23:24:21 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. To start off with, chlorine is a salt. All that a salt water generator does is convert salt, by a form of electrolysis via a cell in the plumbing, into a low constant dose of chlorine gas that dissolves in the pool water to become sodium hypochlorite. The cell looks like the plates in a lead acid car battery. Water flows between the plates and an electric current passes between the plates. Gas forms on the plates and dissolves into the pool water return. Generally, yes, the chlorine is a little lower than in a traditionally chlorinated pool because it is constant dose. It doesn't have the spikes in levels. Often there's no need to even put the units into their 100% output or "shock" setting. By chlorine gas, I'm assuming you mean… [cont.]

Can anyone make water spiral threw an automatic swimming pool cleaner's pipes?
Q. My question is can you make the water in your automatic swimming pool cleaner's pipes spiral. Speeding up water flow, greater suction power, faster automatic swimming pool cleaner, a turning force is created on the swimming pool pipes. The automatic swimming pool cleaner will be able to turn itself out of tight spots.

Once a week all you do is add the Chemicals, usually the tablets, and it will do the rest for you. I had to hardly do any cleaning after I had it installed.

I want to convert a large chlorinated swimming pool into a pool for fish. Will ammonia work?
Q. I've heard that ammonia will neutralize the chlorine, and I think that's what people use to treat tap water for fishtanks. But are there other chemicals in swimming pool water?

A. As one previous poster has said, you can let your pool water just sit, the chlorine will dissapate over time, especially in sunny conditions.. it may take a week or 2 weeks or longer... it all depends on the situation. Test your pool water often to check the chlorine levels. You can go to a pool store, and you can buy a chlorine neutralizer. however you might spend a little money for this, as if you have a large 3000 gallon pool, it may take a few containers of the chemical. Even after getting a zero reading on the chlorine, i would still wait a week or 10 days after this to make sure that the chlorine is completely dissapated.

Use a test kit to see what chemicals you need to put into your pool.

A. well..you should'nt have to clean it everyday-sounds like its too small...a filter can be acid washed to remove oils its still good as long as the material is not frayed...some last 4-5 years for the larger sizes:

How much does it cost to replace a swimming pool key?
Q. I accidently broke my buddy's swimming pool key? How much would it cost to replace it? He lives in an apartment, if that helps.
